Pastor Tunde Abdullahi

A delegation from the church, led by the Pastor in Charge of RCCG Region 25, Pastor Tunde Abdullahi, delivered the condolence message during a visit to the Governor's office in Ado-Ekiti on Monday. Also in the delegation were the Pastors in Charge of Region 22 and Region 39, Pastor Jimi Ajibade and Pastor Joseph Olagbadegun, together with Pastor Tunde Adelusi.

The condolence letter, signed by the Continental Overseer of RCCG Continent 3, Pastor Funso Odesola, condemned the gruesome killing of the two traditional rulers and the abduction of the school pupils, who were later freed, and restated the church's commitment to supporting the state with prayers.

We stand united in condemning such acts of violence and advocating for justice to prevail. The tragic loss of these monarchs underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures and concerted efforts to foster peace and stability within our communities.

Be rest assured of our continued prayers for your state and the country at large.

Speaking on behalf of the General Overseer, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, Pastor Tunde Abdullahi said the purpose of the visit was to sympathise with the government over the killing of the two traditional rulers and the abduction of the school children and their teachers. He said the incident did not mean that God had forsaken the people, but that God had a purpose for everything, and charged the Governor to remain steadfast and resolute.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji thanked the church for the visit and expressed profound gratitude to the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, for his demonstrated love and concern for the people of the state. He urged religious leaders to unite in prayer for Nigeria, and called on people of faith to remain vigilant and to report suspicious activity in their communities.
